Ive always been a fan of the trans ams and thought everyone thought the same way but i was recently at an f-body show and a guy had a formula and he said he hated the T/A because of the spoiler and he especially hated the ws6 hood. Just wondering how many people prefer the formula over the T/A.

Depends on what year.

93-97 i prefer t/a
98-02 i prefer formula

i chose the 87 formula i had over a trans am. The fact that it looks like a 6 cylinder but has the balls and handling of the V-8 is awesome. Its a factory sleeper, like an LX fox body 5.0 used to be.

Formy's look good under the right conditions, but they have to have a hood or something to differentiate them from the base Firebirds.

My thoughts exactly.

My buddy has a 99 Formy with a Firehawk hood. He just built a H/C N2O LS2 to go in there. That car is sick.

Which would be quicker the Formula or the Trans Am?

Mod for mod the Formula. Same motor, less weight.

But by a miniscule amount..


I could really care less. Same shit IMO.

Unless you actually want people to think it's a v6 'bird..........

True, but there is a difference.

whatevs... to each their own. But I love my T/A! :thumbsup:
If I did have a 4th gen formula, I'd look into the Mecham spoiler.

I always thought the formy would be a tad quickr because its lighter but you can never find road tests for them. Its always the T/A

I would go for the TA...I have just always like the look a little better over a Formula...

Whenever I think of a V8 Firebird I picture the TA (especially 2nd and 4th gens)...The Formula looks great but its kind of like Darth Vader without the cape...just doesn't work for me...

formulas are great. i always have liked sleeper cars. however i think that the formula looks wrong for some reason stock. i think the absoutely best looking firebird i ever saw had a V6 front end, a T/A hatch, and a WS6 hood. wicked. if i had thought about it, i might of gotten a formula and done it.

I've always liked the TA's, but I'm more of a sleeper man myself (Makes it easier to get Hondas and such to race me). I own a formula and I'll always be a formula man. Formula oke: TA.

 

[NOSTYLS1]

I like them both.T/A looks better,Formula's lighter. I plan on owning both.

 

[nostyta]

T/A all the way.
